    My fiance has found a company to go with. He's just graduated and is leaving out this weekend to start orientation. I know what he will be getting paid for orientation and training but my question is what will he be making after training? He will be paid 24% of the loads. I am just looking for an estimate of what a normal pay check should be weekly and after taxes are took out. Thanks

    you need to know what their rates are to know,

    for just starting out $600 a week on the low end up to $1000 a week gross is not uncommon

    Just keep in mind it may vary week to week unless he is dedicated because there is no certainty in trucking.

    OK, I understand that you want to have some idea, so you can build a budget. But it is going to vary, and sometimes it may vary a lot. Also his expenses while OTR will vary.

    I think, that taken with what has already been posted here, you are pretty much going to have to wait and see how it shakes out. Try not to get discouraged, sometimes patience is the ONLY thing you can have.
